We could cut carbon footprint today just by removing driving licenses of old people who have no need to drive. Be better to stop issuing licenses to new drivers. They are the biggest danger on the roads and the most likely to have crashes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit short sighted there, we all have to learn, who will deliver your tena pads if there are not new drivers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not short sighted at all. It is the young who have been brainwashed into believing that they can stop or reverse global warming. They have never driven before so will not miss it or know any different. They cannot afford electric vehicles nor the insurance to go with it. They cannot even afford driving lessons these days. It is the obvious place to start. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The insurance relates to battery transportation, smaller electric vehicles like these and removable batteries are the way forward, the young have jobs and stuff to do so will always be the priority over old coots going for pointless random drives that just logic.

I believe that the real problem is the old who have been brainwashed into believing that they can't stop or reverse global warming. 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) can you imagine when the next ice age comes round , humans will be blamed for global cooling. slow changes in planet temperature have been happening for millennia and will continue to do so regardless of our vain and futile attempts to control it , but hey ho , lets charge people money and tell them we are controlling it. snake oil anyone ??
